is cgminer scanning usb periodically while running? i noticed my Haupauge HD-PVR keeps locking up when running cgminer. if it is, can it be disabled under windows?

--hotplug 0

This gave me an idea, that cgminer was locking up this icon, and indeed, cgminer is locking up this icon, after I eject my android.
If I restart my pc, then plug in my android via usb, then right click this icon, click eject, then click the icon again, it goes away. The second after I start cgminer, plug in my android, right click the icon, eject, click the icon, the icon does not go away, I have to restart the pc.

The icon.

Any suggestions?

I've added

Code:

"hotplug" : "0",

to my cgminer.conf

If you --usb :0 then it won't even look at USB other than to call the standard libusb_init(NULL);
(and wont mine on any BAS,BFL,MMQ USB devices)
So you can at least work out if your problem is caused by libusb or some other program.
Though I will point out that on my linux desktop mining with a BFL and a BAJ, I regularly plug in and pull out 2xSamsung (GS1 and GS3) Androids and an iPhone3 and have no problems at all - but that is linux not windows ...

CGminer crashes when I start it on windows. Any ideas why? (inb4 "you're using windows")

Catalyst 13.4; AMD APP SDK 2.8; I'm using the "cgminer-3.1.1-windows" precompiled binaries; 64bit Windows 7 SP1
AMD HD Radeon 6850

It works fine on linux.

Which driver version and APP SDK is recommended for running cgminer on windows with an AMD Radeon HD 6850? Thanks for your help so far

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/README

It's in the FAQ section.

Hey guys !
got a problem with my fpga ... I got an Icarus compatible FPGA and have installed the windows driver using zadig utility. problem is that cgminer doesn't see the fpgas ...
any clue ? Windows sees them ok.

Thanks, Alex

Ironically Icarus is the only driver that has currently NOT been converted to direct USB. It is in the process of being rewritten but the current cgminer release uses the ftdi driver for Icarus compatible hardware.

thanks for the quick reply ! what would be a ftdi driver ?

kinda new to fpgas ... had gpus thus far.

so ... will it work ? or not yet with 3.1.1 and must revert to older version ?

It compiles as 3.1.1 but when I start it, it says 2.10.3 and complains about not being able to open the diablo stuff. I did a git pull right before doing this compile.

Well, you didn't include the compiler output, but one possibility is that the compile process failed with some error and so didn't update the cgminer executable, and so you are running with the executable from the last time you compiled (with version 2.10.3 source code).

You sir are correct. The executable has a December date on it. Thanks.

Is there a "cgminer on TP-Link WR703N" thread anywhere?

I see one for Broadcom-based routers, but those are a bit different (mipsel vs mipseb).

Having trouble with my own compiled version:

Compiling from git always needs ./autogen.sh first (as per the README).

Yes, I did autogen.sh first. Do I need to specify all the options on autogen or just run it with none?

Edit, just ran it again, and then ./configure and I'm having the same problem.
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-bflsc --enable-icarus
./cgminer -c /home/cgminer/.cgminer/cgminer.conf.itzod

I wanted to compile in the Icarus code because I have some of the little block erupter USB sticks on order:

...

Another thing to see if it is related ...
Are you mining GBT or is the computer busy or is it using USB to a HDD or some other high rate USB device?
(but I don't think that's the cause)

999ms to reply is of course WAY too long (what the -7 means)

... however it's only on getting the temperature.
So my guess is actually that the temperature monitoring hardware is faulty.
Stop using it - it cools down - start using it - it heats up and fails.

There's no option to disable getting the temperature in the code.
You could hack it out by editing driver-bitforce.c and removing line 767:
.get_stats = bitforce_get_stats,
and see if that helps you.

...

The hash rate of BFL Single goes down after the the first message appears, but it will go essentially to 0 after some period of time.

Restarting cgminer solves the problem but problem will reaper after some interval of time.

I think there is a hardware error inside the device, which gets USB buffer for the device out of sync with cgminer. Is it possible to make cgminer to recover after this error by flushing the USB buffer or some other internal reset without a need to restart cgminer?

Hmm - but it should resync anyway ... I presume it is doing that in the log after where you cut it off? (as it did the first time shown)
The actual cause of the problem is the timeout (-7) where the device took more than 999ms to reply (i.e. BFL0 stuffed up Tongue

)
If the device really has failed, it will change state to ZOMBIE, but if it does keep working, then in this case it's simply got out of sync fue to a hardware problem and then resynced not long after.
If it resyncs, then reinitialising it wont do any better.

Restarting cgminer does solve the problem - this is why I think that something could be done within the cgminer to recover from it. After restart (of cgminer only), it may work for days without any error messages.

As I said: after the problem first present itself, it doesn't go to 0 hash rate right away - it takes several minutes for the hashrate from the device to get to 0, meanwhile I keep getting those errors.

Here is the full log until the restart: (I only took out GPU shares)

is cgminer scanning usb periodically while running? i noticed my Haupauge HD-PVR keeps locking up when running cgminer. if it is, can it be disabled under windows?

--hotplug 0

Ok, thank you i'll give that a shot after the race later. don;t want to lockup the recording device while i'm at work.
